Getting spam messages that fills my mailbox

Sorry for starting a new thread on this existing topic, but for some
reason Google won't let me reply to the existing thread.

I've also run into the same issue. I.e. the "W32.Swen.A@mm" virus
filling my Yahoo e-mail box within hours of me emptying it. I've even
had some success redirecting a majority of them to my trash, but that
really doesn't help because that fills up within hours as well.

I've actually had some correspondence with them over this. Their
reply was predictable, "just empty your trash regularly"... but I
replied and again requested that they detect the virus and block it
entirely.

I'm so glad I keep my real E-mail address off the usenet. But, I
still have a problem, because I can't find any news servers which will
allow me to have a fictitious E-mail address. I even tried
http://news.individual.net/, which another person here recommended.
But, it requires me to enter a valid E-mail to post a message.

Any more suggestions, besides abandoning usenet?

it's not necessarily a usenet problem, it might be the way you have your
account set up in your reader.

i changed my email address just for this post.

Spambots will often figure out your munged email. Just go to hotmail,
setup an account. Use that account to setup your google groups account
and then never bother with that hotmail account again.
